@mayebelle81 Find the CD "Puccini Heroines" by Leontyne Price - the lyrics are in the CD insert.

@dollartwenty Oh yes, I've had this CD for a long time, and this version of "Addio" is unmatched. Every other soprano seems to have to prove how fast they can blast through it, but Leontyne takes it at a pace that preserves the majesty and grief of the aria. I can't listen to this without getting teary eyed. Brava! And thanks for also loving this album!

I have loved this since it first came out on her Puccini Heroines LP decades ago. Thank goodness it's also now on CD and here on Youtube for new generations to fall in love with the greatest soprano America ever produced.
